That the country press has never received the patronage to which it is justly eutitled. even in the most favorable localities, is a fact,. we believe, universally admitted. How to in crease its patronage, and thereby eularge tho sphere of its usefulness, is a problem which, after stating a few propositions, we shall leave tnoseoronr numerous readers' who ao not "take tho paper," to solve. I. A Country Paper is a locnl necessity, and as such more valua ile to every citizen, of the county than any other. , The trqth orthis , proposition should be too obvious to require comment It is not the size, tho amonut of general news contained, or tho editorial Abili ty displayed, or all theso combined, that infallibly determine the value of a puper, which, like every other article of corr.merco, is subject to the laws of trade. The Now York Tribune for instance, is a much larger ond abler paper than the Jeffersoniuu Democrat, though we submit that tbe disparity in size aud resources, betweeu the two places in which they oro respectively published; but there are many others, such as the Times, the Evening Post, tho Tke Independent, &c, that can supply the place of the former, while there is but one that cao perform the offics of tho latter, As regards all matters ot mere local or personal concern, the County Paper alone is iudispei- sable to the community. It is the sole gencr- ai medium oi public communication among the citizens of the several townships, and between them and the world at largo. It is, tbeq in its appropriate sphere, of more value tbaq any other, and no citizen who would promote the interests of the County can reasonably ob ject to payiog a livingjprice for it whether it be more or less than that charged for the city weekly 8. Money St ved at its expense is money lost with interest in the end; for thoso who will not take their County Paper must depend npon borrowing it of tlieir neigbbers, or be subjected to almost constaut inconveni- eqce and expense, from ignorance of its son- tents. I hey are liable to lose, every year, ton times tqs oinouut nskod for t!;e pnper, by starting with their daughters for the Teachers' . Examination on the wrong dar; by neglecting to pay their taxes qqtil charged with a penal ty, apd perhaps until their property is sold tq pay delinquencies; by fuiling to receive the premiums to which the annually published list of o.ur Agricultural Societies might show them to bo entitled; nud in various oilier ways. II. It is tbe duty of all those citizens who habitually avail themselves of tho columns of their County Paper to advance their interests 01 gratify their pride to subscribe nod pay for it We.say this, not as a supplant for unmerited favor, but because justice to both publisher and 8u,b?cribers demands that it should be said. 'e have no peculiar reuson to complain, our patronage being; as inrrre, if not larger, than that of County Papers in general; yet we ontertaiuno doqbt that, if til) citizens of the class above mentioned should furor us with thein support, our subscription list would contain at least two thousand names, And why should it notf Every man who seeks a hearing through the press, in so doing- givej good evidence that it is of some value to bim, and why should he not aid in supporting it ? By refusing or neglecting to do so, ho stands in the light of a consumer bnt noo producer. Does he ever ask bimseirhow tbe paper which heralds bis name, thoughts and actions to the world, "wiihcnt money and without price, ba sustained? ' We caa assure all such that it does not sustain itself, that it reqnires patron-; age. and thnt if eveiybody should follow their exarqple, it could not exist III. Better patronage will make bettor papers. We are aware that it may bo truly said that County Papers are not all as good as they might bo made. The country pre.'S can never compote with the city press' in the publication of general nes; it is idle to attempt it, aud bo intelligent reader expects it; but, within its own sphere, end for its own particular objects, it can aud shaqld be made as interesting and useful, jn the variety and character of jts elected articles, it should excel, and, in the ability of its original articles, fully equal, the pity press, As intelligence is do more abqndant jq the pity than in the conn'ry there is no valid reason why the tone of the country press should not be as elevatod as that of the city press. But, to enable country publishers to make better papers, they must bo more generally and liberally patronized. To such persons us may seek to establish their own wisdom and acuteness by decrying everything useful in their own community and who, while reading little and appreciating less, make it a point ou all occasions, to sneer at our County paper, wo have nothing to say; bat to tbe larger and more jast and intelligent class of citizens, wo freely confess that it fulls be:ow our own ideal; aud it shall bo our con stunt aim to co-operate with them, iq Improving it. Harace Greey, though reputed chief of tbe Editorial fraternity, coqld hardly be ex-pected to produce a TnOune iq a country village, with less tqaq one thoqsanij subscri-" bers; aud, surely, more will not be exacted of , any of its humbler members. An editor, to be most successful,. 8hould-bo enabled to dovotr, all his time to tbe labors of bis profession, and, to the extent that it is necessarily o:co-. pied by other labors, bis efficieuvy as ari editor is impaired. Make the editorial profession as remunerative iu the country as iu tbe city-and the country will afford as ablo arid inter esting papers. Liberal patronage will coin- tpaad the requisite Bkitl as certainly as supply follows demand. '-" , IV. A paper is regarded abroad as a fair judox of tbe intelligence on I thrift of the poor '-' pie where it is published. This proposition is self evident and needs no elucdiation;,and we merely state it as one of the many arm- ments in furor of a more Jnst and liberal policy in regard to the couutry press.

That the country press has never received the patronage to which it is justly eutitled. even in the most favorable localities, is a fact,. we believe, universally admitted. How to in crease its patronage, and thereby eularge tho sphere of its usefulness, is a problem which, after stating a few propositions, we shall leave tnoseoronr numerous readers' who ao not "take tho paper," to solve. I. A Country Paper is a locnl necessity, and as such more valua ile to every citizen, of the county than any other. , The trqth orthis , proposition should be too obvious to require comment It is not the size, tho amonut of general news contained, or tho editorial Abili ty displayed, or all theso combined, that infallibly determine the value of a puper, which, like every other article of corr.merco, is subject to the laws of trade. The Now York Tribune for instance, is a much larger ond abler paper than the Jeffersoniuu Democrat, though we submit that tbe disparity in size aud resources, betweeu the two places in which they oro respectively published; but there are many others, such as the Times, the Evening Post, tho Tke Independent, &c, that can supply the place of the former, while there is but one that cao perform the offics of tho latter, As regards all matters ot mere local or personal concern, the County Paper alone is iudispei- sable to the community. It is the sole gencr- ai medium oi public communication among the citizens of the several townships, and between them and the world at largo. It is, tbeq in its appropriate sphere, of more value tbaq any other, and no citizen who would promote the interests of the County can reasonably ob ject to payiog a livingjprice for it whether it be more or less than that charged for the city weekly 8. Money St ved at its expense is money lost with interest in the end; for thoso who will not take their County Paper must depend npon borrowing it of tlieir neigbbers, or be subjected to almost constaut inconveni- eqce and expense, from ignorance of its son- tents. I hey are liable to lose, every year, ton times tqs oinouut nskod for t!;e pnper, by starting with their daughters for the Teachers' . Examination on the wrong dar; by neglecting to pay their taxes qqtil charged with a penal ty, apd perhaps until their property is sold tq pay delinquencies; by fuiling to receive the premiums to which the annually published list of o.ur Agricultural Societies might show them to bo entitled; nud in various oilier ways. II. It is tbe duty of all those citizens who habitually avail themselves of tho columns of their County Paper to advance their interests 01 gratify their pride to subscribe nod pay for it We.say this, not as a supplant for unmerited favor, but because justice to both publisher and 8u,b?cribers demands that it should be said. 'e have no peculiar reuson to complain, our patronage being; as inrrre, if not larger, than that of County Papers in general; yet we ontertaiuno doqbt that, if til) citizens of the class above mentioned should furor us with thein support, our subscription list would contain at least two thousand names, And why should it notf Every man who seeks a hearing through the press, in so doing- givej good evidence that it is of some value to bim, and why should he not aid in supporting it ? By refusing or neglecting to do so, ho stands in the light of a consumer bnt noo producer. Does he ever ask bimseirhow tbe paper which heralds bis name, thoughts and actions to the world, "wiihcnt money and without price, ba sustained? ' We caa assure all such that it does not sustain itself, that it reqnires patron-; age. and thnt if eveiybody should follow their exarqple, it could not exist III. Better patronage will make bettor papers. We are aware that it may bo truly said that County Papers are not all as good as they might bo made. The country pre.'S can never compote with the city press' in the publication of general nes; it is idle to attempt it, aud bo intelligent reader expects it; but, within its own sphere, end for its own particular objects, it can aud shaqld be made as interesting and useful, jn the variety and character of jts elected articles, it should excel, and, in the ability of its original articles, fully equal, the pity press, As intelligence is do more abqndant jq the pity than in the conn'ry there is no valid reason why the tone of the country press should not be as elevatod as that of the city press. But, to enable country publishers to make better papers, they must bo more generally and liberally patronized. To such persons us may seek to establish their own wisdom and acuteness by decrying everything useful in their own community and who, while reading little and appreciating less, make it a point ou all occasions, to sneer at our County paper, wo have nothing to say; bat to tbe larger and more jast and intelligent class of citizens, wo freely confess that it fulls be:ow our own ideal; aud it shall bo our con stunt aim to co-operate with them, iq Improving it. Harace Greey, though reputed chief of tbe Editorial fraternity, coqld hardly be ex-pected to produce a TnOune iq a country village, with less tqaq one thoqsanij subscri-" bers; aud, surely, more will not be exacted of , any of its humbler members. An editor, to be most successful,. 8hould-bo enabled to dovotr, all his time to tbe labors of bis profession, and, to the extent that it is necessarily o:co-. pied by other labors, bis efficieuvy as ari editor is impaired. Make the editorial profession as remunerative iu the country as iu tbe city-and the country will afford as ablo arid inter esting papers. Liberal patronage will coin- tpaad the requisite Bkitl as certainly as supply follows demand. '-" , IV. A paper is regarded abroad as a fair judox of tbe intelligence on I thrift of the poor '-' pie where it is published. This proposition is self evident and needs no elucdiation;,and we merely state it as one of the many arm- ments in furor of a more Jnst and liberal policy in regard to the couutry press.
